Glorious Gardening

I wouldn't say that I am an expert gardener but I have definitely been bit by the gardening bug since I got married and this year I am just bursting at the seams to get my garden started. Lucky for us it is time to start planting some things here where we live so let the season begin. I have some seeds started indoors and we have planted potatoes and peas outside in our garden spot. We started a big compost bin last fall and have the most beautiful compost to put on our garden this spring. The bulbs I planted last fall are coming up and ahhhhh it is just awesome. I think it is one of the best feelings in the world to plant seeds and watch them grow. Here is the list of what we will be planting this year:
Tomatoes: cherry, beefmaster and early girl (I make a killer salsa so we need lots of tomatoes plus I can eat them by the handful)
Peppers: Jalapeno and bell
Cabbage
Broccoli
Cilantro
Corn
Carrots
Cucumbers
Squash
Onions
Peas
Potatoes
Lettuce
Beets

Here are our potatoes and peas (nothing up as of yet but they will come)

The beginnings of a beautiful tulip or daffodil.

My little cilantro sprouts
My indoor seeds: tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and cabbage. The peppers and cabbage are just barely starting to poke out.
My little garden marker standing valiantly in his place. I found these at Michaels Crafts in their under $5.00 section. I got a pack of 4 for $1.99. Seemed like a good deal to me and works much better than the empty seed packet stuck under a rock.

  1. I love gardening too. So you make a great salsa? I would love a good recipe. I love homemade salsa, and I just can't seem to get a goo recipe. Is yours a long time family secret? Can I bribe you to share it with me?

  2. A goo recipe...that is funny. I mean a good recipe.

  3. Homemade salsa sounds good!

    We started our indoor planting about a week ago. My oldest has loved watching them sprout and get bigger everyday. =)

  4. I'm jealous. I was going to start my garden this weekend but then got hit with strep throat. Don't worry...I won't breathe your way:)
